Those "blisters" look more like calluses to me. Maybe from sitting alot on a hard surface?

I think I know the feed store in Safford you're talking about, the one by the tattoo shop? They've got a whole new crowd of people running that place and I haven't been impressed with them. The old owners were a lot better.

Also, I know this sounds weird, but try adding a little oregano to their feed. Fresh would be good.
they were in a caged area with a wire bottom, the same as the walls of the cage, so I could see why they would be calluses... anything I can do for them?

And I have NO idea XD My best friend lives in Safford, and I was visiting for the weekend, and I had $20 on me, so I decided I would buy a chicken XD It is the "Curtis" place wit the pool.

and I'll try that!

thanks ^-^ if the oregano doesn't work, i'll switch to antibiotics in their water. ^-^

How old and what breed?

They are getting tail feathers now so 2 weeks very soon. They are supposed to be Australorps.

And they are still tiny. The barnyard large breed mixes I have are twice their size and 4 days older. I will try to get a picture so you can see the size difference.

Oh ya, that's not even a feed store, it's a landscaping supply that dabbles in way too many other things...

Maybe the brownish one is RIR? Maybe not too......I have had many EEs that laid brown, beige, cream eggs. They all tasted good!! Congratulations!!!

Okay. This is a large breed chick that was born on April 16th. The black Australorp chick I got on April 25th and they were 5 days old according to the guy taking care of them. Wing & tail feathers on the young one. Older had wing, tail, top wing, and is already starting neck feathers. It's crazy the difference.

Yo do any of you know who might have some buff silkie chickens?

I've been seeing several ads on Craigslist in the farm and garden section for people selling those types of chicks. Maybe you could check with some of them.
